Unit 1, Week #4
This
week we are reading “The Horned Toad Prince” by Jackie Mims Hopkins. We will focus on some vocabulary words in
this story. It would be helpful if you
will reinforce the meaning of these words at home with your child. Also, on this newsletter you will find our
spelling words for the week. Please
practice these words at home as well.
The words in italics are our challenge spelling words. The
Unit 1 Math Tests should be in your child’s Homework Folder. Please look this
over and have your child correct any mistakes. Let’s have a great week!
